RAYCER IS HERE!!!

IT'S A BOY!!! All of the chinese ladies at the deli around the corner from our house were right- IT's a BOY!! 7lbs, 1oz. of joy, Raycer Caden Verrecchia. Raycer is a name derived from Jennie' Dutch heritage, as I will tell you, or from my Scandanavian heritage, as Jennie will tell you. Either way: When you hear someone talking about "Raycer", you'll know who they're talking about.

Here's Jennie, pre-drugs, ready to go into her C-Section. Although we spent months in natural childbirth classes, Raycer was not ready to turn around... possibly due to his umbilical chord being tangled around his neck. In the end, post surgery, we are gald we made the safe decision... the doctor had a hell of a time getting him out because he was literally grabbing onto something and would not come out. (I witnessed her attempt, I thought she was going to lift jennie off the table!!) Raycer, being a tough little guy, came through well and just wanted to be with his mommy!

Ok, I know you want more pictures, so I'll drop some in.
